Normalized burn ratio calculated from Landsat 8 imagery both preceding and following the Bootleg Wildfire in the Beatty, Oregon area. The fire burned from July 6th to August 15th during the Summer of 2021 and its footprint shows varying levels of burn severity. Dark purple areas indicate highest severity, shades of red and orange indicate moderate severity, and yellow areas indicate low burn severity. Black areas depict unburned areas.
